Default Can't Get It Off!

Cleaned the car...had her lookin' really nice...took her out for ride...and rolled through some f***in road paint!!!!! Now I've got white paint on the back side bumper and I can't get it off! I didn't see it until I got back home so it was good and dry when I noticed it. Tried washing it again, but nothing. My neighbor saw me washing my car (for the second time in one day) told me to put terpentine on it--but his car looks like $hite and I don't want to risk it. Does anybody know how to get this crap off without ruining my paint?

Turpentine willcorrode the metal of your fender.Try Easy Bake Oven Cleaner. Spray it on a cloth and then gently rub the paint. Try to remove it with your fingernail if itdoes not rub off easily. Or you could try ahair dryer on high until the paint begins to soften and then remove it with your fingernail or something soft and strong so you do not leave a gouge in the metal for rust to set in.

Cheers

Mineral spirits may help, just be careful and keep wiping the area. If you take your time you can break it down without hurting the paint, you jsut ahve to rub it on, then wash it off within a few minutes, and keep repeating that.
